Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier says Joe Biden needs to provide more details when he says masks should be worn outdoors at all times.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Confirmed whether the Clinton is
being considered for any roles
Brian, she will
would not surprise me
calling for a national mask
mandate. No matter where you
live,
every governor should mandate
mandatory mask wearing
the estimates by the experts. Are
it will save over forty thousand lives
in the next three months,
Brian, who are their experts, and
why are we here and what
questions would have you asked
had the former vice president
opened up the questions
Fox NEWS contributor, Dr Nicole
Saphier, joins us now with her
take
doctor, I was just wondering
what you thought about a
presidential candidate coming
out pretending he was president
and telling us what to do.
Do you think that would work?
Well, Brian, you know its a
good conversation to have
regarding universal mask
mandate.
Right now, unequivocally people
should be wear masks indoors
outside of their homes. Unless
they have respiratory issues,
there is not a reason not to
wear a mask while indoors public
spaces,
Joe Biden. He said people
outdoors should be wearing masks
for the next three months
and he really left a lot of room
for questions there, but he
didnt take any questions. So my
first question to him is whats
the science by that
recommendation. In the last I saw
the transmission level for this
virus is significantly less
outdoors when you are not able
to socially distance
right now. The current
recommendations, Brian, are that
you wear a mask when you are
unable to socially distance,
not just at all times
so again. If you are able to
socially distance, why do you
have to be wearing a mask
because you are not catching it
just from out in the breeze?
My second question goes and by
the way, its convenient to make
these statements when you dont
have long term consequences. My
second question is, if you are
saying everyone outside Joe,
has to be wearing a mask. Where
does that leave outside dining,
because, as far as I know there,
Israel yet to be any reported
outbreaks from restaurants, doing
outdoor dining and they are
taking the proper precautions to
keep everybody safe,
so were going to again shut
down these restaurants close
these businesses and people are
going to lose their jobs. Again,
I mean again its convenient
to say that, but thats not
convenient for the american
people.
Lastly, Brian again he made
this blanket statement, but what
are the metrics? He is going to
be following. He
said three months minimum. He
would want this outdoor mask
mandate,
whats the science guiding that
what is he going to be looking
at
new cases
pose 50s?
Is it going to be presumed
positive,
confirmed positives,
unfortunately, its really hard
to tell
he just didnt, give us enough
details- and you have to be
prudent in this, because this is
a very politicized conversation
to have and its unfortunate
that he would just come out and
say this and not give us the
details.
Again. We have the federal
recommendations in place right
now,
socially distanced,
and if you cant do it wear a
mask
its up to individual
responsibility.
You should be wearing a mask,
just as a token to your fellow
Americans showing that you are
respecting their space.
Brian okay.
I also know if you are worried
about outdoor dining. The lack
of indoor dining has destroyed
every restaurant in the number
one city in America, even though
our numbers are through the
floor under one percent
that doesnt seem to bother
anyone. I guess who is running
for office.
There is some other gain. I think
is important to go over.
I read about this morning about
this nasal spray.
What can you tell us?
Well, I want to go real quick
to the indoor dining.
I am dying to go back to indoor
dining Brian.
There have been reported
outbreaks,
so we have to again continue
to brainstorm how to keep indoor
dining safe,
the arrow nab, this nasal spray
they are talking about. They have
discovered what they call nano
bodies.
Nano bodies are produced in
other animals, Lamb, mass
camels. We have known about them
for years;
essentially they are combining
them and in the nasal spray form
theyre actually blocking that
spike protein from incorporating
into your cells.
They are thinking it may a way
to prevent Covid 19.
Its still only in lab form
would have to do some animal and
human testing.
They are hopeful that, maybe in
the next few months, maybe that
it might be available
buff, they said if and when its
available, it will be not very
expensive and it will be
available over the counter, which
is important.
Brian all right, Dr Nicole.
